Scoring Fixed–Sorta Kinda
May 3rd, 2012
This is how you fix computer problems.
The reporting side of the league scoring program is partially working now. Tonight we will have team information up and the standings and handicaps and high guns will all be there. As of now there are no scores on the web site and there will be no pre-printed score sheets for tonight’s shooting. By next week everything should be working as normal. We should have pre-printed score sheets every week and the web site will have the scores updated each weekend. Sorry about the troubles.

Scoring Problems
May 2nd, 2012
Trying furiously to solve the world's problems
Sorry that there have not been any scoring updates on the site for the first night of league. I updated my computer this winter and in the process updated the Ruby runtime library that my scoring program code is based on. I then proceeded to make the necessary changes to make my program work properly. Everything was perfect, there will be new features I can implement with the updated Ruby runtime and I could simplify some spots of my 4500 lines of code, or so I thought. While the program was technically working and did a fine job at keeping track of members and the league scoring aspect, I seemed to have forgotten to check the compatibility of the reporting capabilities with the new runtime environment. That didn’t work out so well. Some libraries I was dependent upon are incompatible with Ruby 1.9.3 and there are no plans to make them. Well to wind this up without writing a book, I am working as fast as possible to update my code base to fix all the reporting problems. I sure hope to have a fix before Thursday night league, if not then I will have shooting yards figured by hand and posted at the club. This is also why the league results are not posted on the site, my code does most of this work for me. Instead of spending time and effort to get the site updated I am spending my time on the code to get it working so all will go smoothly from here on out. I you need to see the results before Thursday pick up a copy of the TRG as they should be in there. Thanks for everyone’s patients.

League Begins
April 21st, 2012League shooting begins Thursday, April 26. This year the league will last 18 weeks instead of the usual 16 weeks, weather permitting. The extended forecast is calling for 60 degrees and sunny so it will be a nice night for shooting. Remember to check back here weekly for updates all summer long. I will be updating the scoring for the league every week and posting the results here and in the TRG. Good luck to everyone.

April 1st, 2012
Old trap club logo
April is finally here even if it has felt like June at times. We have open shooting scheduled for Saturday April 7 and April 14 in the afternoons at the trap club. The first night of shooting is on April 26. If current weather holds, it will be a nice night around 10 degrees above normal.
Now on to other stuff. Our event calendar on the website is now working properly and you can use it to see what is happening at the club. Also on the right sidebar to the main site just below the weather widget there is a spot to subscribe to the website. After entering your email address you will need to respond to an email sent to you to verify that you want to be subscribed. After all of that you will receive emails when new posts are put on the website. That is all for now.

2012 Barstool Racers
Our barstool races held on February 25, 2012 have been a great success. We had several entries racing for the greatest prize of all, their pride. Thanks to all the guys for making sure their was snow and a nicely groomed track to slide down. Check out the gallery with all the photos. Thanks to Edward A Asselin for the photos from the entire day, without which our picture gallery would not be. You can find the pictures here: 2012 Barstool Races
Hottest Pepper in the World
February 26th, 2012
World's hottest pepper.
For all of those who are chili and salsa fans there is a new king of the hot peppers. The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion beat out the Trinidad Scorpion, the 7-pot, the Chocolate 7-pot and the Bhut Jolokia, which was a previous record-holder. The research was done by the University of New Mexico. I don’t recommend eating any of these peppers. Just check out You Tube and search Ghost Pepper (the previous record holder Bhut Jolokia) or Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. Anyway all these little guys are nasty and will give some pop to your batch of salsa.
